1) Employee's shift is scheduled for a particular duration. Example: 7.30 am to 4.30 pm2) Employee punches his start time. If he is late, it should reflect on his Karma3) If logs out early, it should reflect on his Karma4) All these should be counted as exceptions.5) Single view to manager who logged at what time (Late, more breaks, early logout etc....)6) Employee should see their own exceptions7) Manager should have an ability to generate reports something called as Timesheets.

So far it's been great using the app. But since there is no punch clock, I have to use a separate app which makes the task tedious.

Is there any way to see a side-by-side comparison of hours scheduled to hours clocked in/out before I approve the time sheets? It'd be nice to see something like "Employee X, Scheduled 6:30am to 2:30pm, clocked in at 6:35am and out at 2:37pm, Approve or Disapprove."

It would be useful to have a running total of hours of each employee clocked in grouped by schedule. This is beneficial to compare production progress as it relates to actual hours spent on production of that schedule.

Our managers would like to use this feature for employees to communicate reasons why they may have been late or other issues related to that particular shift. Is it possible to have this option added to the gallery (Terminal) as well?

Anyways, it would be really nice if there were a way we could import the time clock data to ShiftPlanning (or have a punch clock plug in) so we get an accurate in and out time for payroll.

I can't find this specific request anywhere else, but there was a similar feature implemented earlier this year.

We need a notification by SMS or Email to the manager when someone does not clock in within XX mins of their shift start.

The notification would go to the manager (in addition to the employee) and let them know the employees' phone number so they could contact them. The manager would have to go to the website to find someone to cover the shift, but this would be a good start. Also, the person/persons notified about the missed shift should be customizable (1 person or more, not just the defined manager, but perhaps a set of managers, or different people depending on the time of day and the prosition of the shift.)

In later iterations, it could be useful to: * Forward employee reply to late clock in messages to the manager so that someone else isn't contated if the employee is already coming in. * Allow managers to broadcast cover requests to other employees who are not clocked in and are not unavailable but qualify for working the position at the listed locationd. Those people could reply that they could work and then the mangaer could select someone and they would be informed that they were to cover the shift (the other employees who had requested to cover would be notified that the shift was covered by someone else).

Now that you have the timeclock feature, you should really take the "Who is on shift" module, and instead of having it present the data from the schedule table of "who is scheduled" and now show "who is actually clocked in" since you have this data now.

Great suggestion! We have tons for much deeper integration with the time-clocking but we wanted to get it online, into our customers hands, to help guide this development. Regarding the dashboard and who's on now, we're actually planning on integrating this into the schedules as well - So it will show Who is scheduled, and then it will also show "Clocked in Now", which will be an easy way to confirm who should be working, vs who is actually working in real time.

I was hoping to get a setting added that would allow an automatic email/ping to be sent to an employee if they are clocked in, let's say, 30 minutes past their scheduled shift.

I was hoping to get a setting added that would allow an automatic email/ping to be sent to an employee if they are clocked in, let's say, 30 minutes past their scheduled shift. Something that would let them know they are logged in past their scheduled shift and to either remember to clock out, email a manager they are working overtime or forgot to clock out, etc. An editable template would be great so any content could be added to the email.

There are a lot of issues with people forgetting to clock out and I think this would help reduce that or at least remind them to contact a manager if they forgot to clock out so it can be edited.

On Time Clocking Options, we would like to be able to have individual clock times round to the nearest 15 minute interval. Right now, you can select that option but that only applies to the total in reporting. We would like to have the rounding apply to each individual clock time(the nearest 15 minutes).

It would really be useful TO have a feature that notified the manager/moderator when an employee that is scheduled to work has not clocked in yet. For instance, notify the admin when an employee sleeps through a shift.

I would like to see it where the clocking feature would round to the closest 15 minutes. Our policy states that if the employee works 8 minutes in a quarter hour that I must pay them for the full 15 minutes. The present options will not allow for this to be set up in time clock.

We would like to see this functionality change slightly:

We would like to see this functionality change slightly:1) block early clockins but allow late clockins2) block late clockouts but allow early clockouts3) add a related feature to auto logout an employee x minutes after a shift if they have not logged out already. This puts the responsibility on them to get out on time and if not request an exception from a manager.

For example, currently set clockin window to 15 min, an employee arrives at 5:30pm to a 5pm shift. They cannot clockin. Now they can find a manager and indicate they arrived at 5:20pm and the manager may not know the actual arrival time and the employee has benefitted from being late. They should be allowed to clockin and their lateness would be visible through reports, etc...

I know of the feature in time clock rounding when an employee clocks in to round up to the neareast 5, 10, 15 min, etc. and when clocking out rounding down to the nearest 10, 15 min, etc. but our policy is when an employee clocks in & out for every shift they must round their time to the nearest 15 min. Example: shift starts at 9am, I come in at 9:05, then I put my time as 9am, if I come in at 9:10am then I put my time as 9:15am. Up to 9:07, we tell employees to round back to 9 and 9:08 or over you round up to 9:15.

The current time clock feature is not working for our company and policy. We need to be able to track tardiness better and deal with this issue as a whole. We have ben using shift planning only for scheduling and office personnel clocking in and out but we would like to begin using it company wide.

Is there any way to update or add clock in and out rounding to the nearest interval it is closest to instead of just up for clock in and back for clock out?

I would love it if the system could send the manager an alert notification if an employee hasn't clocked in within a certain amount of time from their start time (a no-show).

For example, if the employee is scheduled to start at 3 PM and still hasn't clocked in at 3:15, then the manager gets an alert. Ideally this could be set by position (we have certain mission-critical positions that require that the employee is on time for, and if they are a no-show, then the emergency backup plan needs to be set in motion).

**EDITED** Sorry, just realize that this is a duplicate of a request by user Mattheww, can the threads be merged? **

We are thinking that if an employee (off site, they are always in homes) were to use their cell phones and be able to clock in and clock out at their shift and maybe some sort of spread sheet would be accessible to check their hours. Thank you!

We are attempting to curb our early clock in by using your limits. However, that then places a limit on the clock out.

We are attempting to curb our early clock in by using your limits. However, that then places a limit on the clock out. In retail, it is difficult to know within 10 minutes of when you will be able to lock your doors and finish the clean up before being able to leave. If a manager is not on duty to adjust the schedule, thus allowing the employee to clock out, the employee then has to leave without being able to clock out. Seems like the bigger problem with employees getting extra time, at least for us, is coming in early rather than staying late, especially after closing. We can control the early clock in but don't have a way during seasonal business to know when we close at 10pm if the employee will be out by 10:45 or possibly even as late as 11:30. So pretty much impossible to come with 10 min and don't want to let them clock in early by 30 min in order to get within 30 min of clocking out. Thanks!

I am looking for the option to print these notes so that each shift entered by an employee can be identified when printed when the compilation of shifts is transferred to our payroll department, rather than having to print these sheets and manually write in shift details.

We want the staff clock in time be rounded to what is their shift start time. The current rounding option is usefull but actually don't work in our case as we want the rounding to a fixed time and up / down to nearest

Some helpful features would be:1. A bigger map when you scroll over the arrow or being able to open the map up. It is very hard to see where the employees clocked in when it is so small. 2. If the employee uses their phone outside of the building to clock in it would be nice if it flagged it. This would allow for employees to use their phones but not be able to lie about when they arrived to work or if it was a certain perimeter that they were allowed to clock in but not outside of say 1 mile from the building. 3. If the employee gets to be outside of say 1 mile without clocking out it would prompt them to clock out or send an email

A nice feature on the "Manage Timesheets" view would be to have the option to narrow the view of clocked-in employees by location. Currently, the only option you have is to narrow it by the schedule, but for locations with multiple schedules, it can become tedious.

So our staff has noticed that on the wonderful ShiftPlanning Time Clock Terminal Log in page, there is NO way to view the actual time.
